Phyllobius pomaceus (Gyllenhal, 1834) | ||
Phyllobius pomaceus is a common beetle found on Nettles in well vegetated habitats. There seems to be a slight variation in colouration, with some specimens showing a distinct purple tinge, or green through to blue. The colouration fades with age, being made up of a covering of scales which become worn and eventually rub off. | ||
